Netflix has just debuted the trailer for their metaphysical romance THE DISCOVERY, which boasts an impressive cast including Robert Redford, Rooney Mara, Jason Segel, Riley Keough and Jesse Plemons. If you simply watch the video below, you'll be struck by what initially appears to be a sweet love story between Segal and Mara (with shades of ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND), but as it goes along things devolve into much creepier territory.
If you want to know what it's about, THE DISCOVERY is…
set in a world where the afterlife has been scientifically proven, and as a result millions of people start taking their own lives to “get there.”
Obviously the film will force you to confront the chilling question, if you knew there was an afterlife, how fast would you want to join it?
Directed by Charlie McDowell and written by McDowell and Justin Lader (THE ONE I LOVE), THE DISCOVERY hits Netflix on March 31st.
